well... define half accessible, your source can not have used much
time on it. All the controls you need actually more than you might
need for your first 100 hours in the 172 are perfectly accessible.
as stated before above you have control over all the things you need,
and trust me even if we had spoken access on all the keys you will not
have time to listen to jaws chittering it to you when you are al lined
or about to get alinet with the runway with 100 knots coming down
with 200 feet a minute. Thought it was easy? it is you just have to
read the manual.
you say you have not downloaded it yet? then i wonder ... and
correct me in case im wrong how, can you know if it works or not ?:)
here is something to cheer you up though. Once you get the grip of it
you can fly the f16 full tilt, or of you are mor of a glider guy you
can ask to get a nice tow up in the feminine wiles.
I allmost forgot... this, is ,not, one of the usual " blind games "
with all the bells and hornsthat you might expect, so it will take you
sometime before you actually can fly the plane, however if you are up
for it you can find me on irc.flightgear.org join the channel
#flightgear and ask for sandi...in case i dont see you first.
have a nice day

Hello,
My name is Josh Kennedy. I am blind and use a screen reader called
NVDA www.nvda-project.organd jaws fromwww.freedomscientific.com
. I have the following comments to make about flightGear.
1. according to another source it's halfway accessible.
2. the menus are a custom control. Could you please add a standard
menu bar, and keyboard equivalents for all program functions so
blind and vissually impaired people can use this program?
3. I have not yet downloaded the open source free flightgear flight
simulater. I am a bit hesitant to do so because of the accessibility
concerns still standing.
